Glarine Injection 100 IU/ml contains Insulin Glargine, a long-acting basal insulin used to control blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. It provides a steady and prolonged glucose-lowering effect over 24 hours, helping maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day and night. This insulin analogue is commonly prescribed for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan.

Composition

Dosage Form: Injection
Indications
Glarine Injection is indicated for:
-
Type 1 diabetes mellitus

Mechanism of Action
Insulin Glargine is a modified form of human insulin that works by facilitating the uptake of glucose into body cells, especially muscle and fat tissues, and reducing glucose production by the liver. After subcutaneous injection, it forms microprecipitates in the tissue, allowing slow and continuous release of insulin, resulting in a prolonged, peakless action profile.
